13. #1 Reason Why MSPs Don’t Grow: No Sales Funnel
(Recent Survey Of 390 MSPs)
78%!
14. Why This Is A BIGGER Problem Than You Might Think
Your sales skills suffer GREATLY because you don’t get sufficient practice
presenting to clients (the average close rate is 25%).
You can’t confidently hire new techs or reinvest in your business growth.
You become DESPERATE and end up taking on clients and opportunities you
should say “NO” to, which suck up precious time and resources.
This economy is STILL sluggish, which is making it MORE difficult because
businesses are NOT upgrading as often and are holding onto IT assets longer.
15. Why Is It SO Difficult To Attract More
And Better Quality Clients?
5 Important Truths You
Must Embrace About Selling IT
Services If You Want To Be
Successful In Attracting More And
Better Quality Clients
16. Truth #1: There Will Always Be
Someone Cheaper
A customer won on price will
always be lost on price.
17. Truth #2: People Will
Pay For Competence
Question: What are YOU doing
consistently on your web site, in your
marketing and in your sales presentations
to convince your prospect that YOU are
more competent than your competition?
18. Truth #3: People Can’t Buy
What They Don’t Know About, And WON’T
Buy What They Don’t Understand
“If I were in the market for what
you sell, would I think of you
first? Second? Would I think of
you at all?” - Nido Qubein
19. Truth #4: No CEO Wakes Up In The
Morning Wanting To Buy IT Support
Clients Want Their Problems To
Go Away Or RESULTS.
With That In Mind, Let’s Think
Like A Client For A Minute…
20. Think About The Last Few
Prospects You Met With…
• What’s typically going on in their business that
would put them in the market to buy what you sell?
• What types of problems or frustrations might they
be experiencing with their current
provider/solution?
• What are some of the questions they might be
thinking to themselves?
• Would they be a savvy and experienced buyer, or
would they largely be confused about what to look
for, what they need, how much they should be
paying and what to ask?
21. Top Complaints Business Owners
Have About Their Current IT Guy:
• Poor response to support requests (not responsive).
• Technical problems constantly crop up (they feel like
they’ve “outgrown” them).
• The technician is rude, doesn’t own the problem and
talks over their head (geek speak).
• Poor customer service overall (things fall through the
cracks, they don’t follow up on requests, they don’t
return calls promptly).
22. Quick Exercise:
• Does this address ANY of the
most common concerns,
problems or anxieties your
clients have?
• Is this message client focused
or company focused?
• Does this copy grab and keep
your attention, compelling
you to read more and take
action?
• Are there any benefits
mentioned?
• Does this build trust or
differentiate this company
from other IT firms?
25. MOST Important Question…
“How About
YOUR Site?”
Important!
This Is NOT Just About Your Web Site But ALL Marketing
Collateral And Communications, Including Your Face-To-
Face Sales Presentation, Brochures, And Other Media
26. Good
Example:
Compelling headline
Valuable offer
Written from the
prospects’ perspective
Testimonials
Clear instructions on
how to respond
Why NECG
Social media tie in
Conclusion: “Clearly these
guys understand our
problems better than most
IT companies.”
Copyright Technology Marketing Toolkit, Inc.
27. Case Study: Frank Ballatore,
The New England Computer Group, Inc.
“I’m blown away by the results generated
from our new web site. We’ve been in
business for 19 years and have never
generated good, qualified leads like we
are now. After implementing Robin’s
suggestions, we generated 7 leads
(appointments) in 3 months and closed
$65,600 in new sales so far.”
28. Truth #5: The MOST Effective And Efficient
Way To Secure More New Clients Is To
Get Them To Seek YOU Out First
“Be The Flame, Not The Moth”
- Casanova
29. How To “Be The Flame”
How To Build The Perfect
“Auto-Pilot” Marketing Machine For
Your IT Services Business Using
Educational Direct
Response Marketing
30. Use Educational Direct
Response Marketing To Bring
Them Into The Sales Funnel:
• Referrals
• JV marketing (partnering)
• Direct sales
• Direct mail
• Google AdWords
• Telemarketing
• Web site and SEO
• Networking events
• PR
• Yellow pages and newspaper ads
• Trade shows
•Writing articles
• Public speaking
• Teleseminars, seminars, webinars
• Newsletter marketing
NOTE: This is also how you build
a list of prospect to market to!
31.
32. The information (free
report, audio CD, video,
etc.) is automatically and
instantly delivered to them.
These people are clearly
interested, but may or may
not be qualified or ready to
buy now.
33. The Free Report:
• Establishes you as the
authority on the subject
• Educates the prospect about
their options, what to expect
and the benefits
• Answers FAQs
• Overcomes common
objections
• Provides case studies and
testimonials to validate your
claims and establish your
credibility
• Offers a “next step” of a
Network Audit, Health Check,
Assessment, etc.
34. When they respond to the
next step, they are
considered a “Hot
Prospect.” If qualified, a
shock-n-awe box is sent.
35. Shock-N-Awe Box Example
Key Point:
If they don’t TRUST you, it doesn’t
matter what you’re selling – they
won’t buy!
36. These people are now pre-
sold, pre-qualified and pre-
disposed to doing business
with you.
41. Case Study:
CMIT Solutions
Challenge:
• Struggling to sell their
managed services program
they called “Marathon”
• Had tried multiple marketing
campaigns with very little
success
• Franchisees were losing faith
in corporate marketing
Even tried giving away an all-
expenses paid trip to generate
qualified leads
42. Case Study:
CMIT Solutions
Problems With Their
Marketing Message:
• No headline
• Wrong offer
• Weak benefits
• No guarantees
• No testimonials
• No USP
• No urgency to respond
43. Case Study:
CMIT Solutions
Solution:
• Improved their headlines, offer
and overall message.
Results Of The FIRST Campaign:
• Captured testimonials from
7,467 Prospects Targeted
existing Marathon clients and
used them in all marketing 98 Leads (1.31%Response)
Generated
campaigns. One Time Revenue: $17,349.95
Annual Recurring Revenue: $90,420.00
• Implemented multi-step, multi-
Total Revenue: $107,769.95
sequence campaigns that included
direct mail, e-mail and Campaign Cost of $29,078.75
telephone
follow up.
•
371% ROI
Refined the mailing to a smaller,
more targeted list.
44. Case Study:
MJ Shoer, Jenaly Technology Group
Turned A $1,800 Marketing Campaign Into A
Cool Quarter Of A Million In
Recurring IT Sales
Just starting out as an MSP
No marketing experience, no sales team and
no marketing manager to help
Was on a very tight budget
Had happy customers, but wanted to grow
beyond a referral-based business
45. Case Study:
MJ Shoer, Jenaly Technology Group
Created the book, “Hassle-Free
Computer Support” based on
the free report I showed you
earlier and self-published it
Mailed it out to all his clients as
a gift around Thanksgiving
Mailed it to the media and key
influencers in his market area
46. Case Study:
MJ Shoer, Jenaly Technology Group
“I can easily attribute over a
quarter of a MILLION dollars
in new revenue just to this
one campaign.”
Not only did we generate a spike in referrals, but our local
newspaper ran a story about us, which brought in even more
new clients. But best of all, a local association
PURCHASED 1,000 copies of the book at $3.25 each to
send to their members (which generated a $1,450 PROFIT
for us) and gave us free advertising and a huge endorsement.
47. Case Study:
Diana Spurgus, Business Systems Solutions
How Diana Went From Working Her BUTT Off
Selling Billable Hours To A 110% Increase In
Recurring IT Services Totaling $1.3 Million
Wasn’t seeing her family, and her health was
deteriorating because of the crushing workload
Was using very corporate, “professional” brochures and
collateral – but getting zero results
Didn’t feel comfortable marketing so was constantly
procrastinating by staying busy with technical work and
other “easier” work
48. Case Study: Diana Spurgus,
Business Systems Solutions
The Marketing Plan:
Implemented a much
stronger marketing
message detailing
WHY a business owner
should outsource their
IT support to them over
the competition
49. Case Study: Diana Spurgus,
Business Systems Solutions
The Marketing Plan:
Created her own
book, “IT 101,” and
used it to position
herself as a trusted
advisor to CEOs
50. Case Study: Diana Spurgus,
Business Systems Solutions
The Marketing Plan:
Started using a
canvassing campaign to
introduce themselves to
local businesses and
build their list. Followed
up with direct mail and
telemarketing
51. Case Study: Diana Spurgus,
Business Systems Solutions
The Marketing Plan:
Started sending a
monthly newsletter and
writing articles for a
local newsletter
52. Case Study:
Diana Spurgus, Business Systems Solutions
Like many of my peers, I started
my business because I love the
technical side and gave little to no
thought about the other areas of
my business – and marketing and selling were certainly
not in my comfort zone. But thanks to Robin’s marketing
and business advice, I’ve been able to step into the role
of being a TRUE business owner and was able to
generate an increase of 110% in new contracts, which
will return $1.3 million over the lifetime of those
clients!
53. Case Study:
John Motazedi, SNC Squared
One Seminar = $236,000 In Sales
MSP in Joplin, MO
Wanted to focus on the
medical niche, but didn’t have
a big list
Decided to hold a lunch and
learn seminar on backup and
disaster recovery
54. Campaign Strategy:
John ASKED his clients (physicians) “Where do you go to
get information?”
Discovered they belonged to an industry association
called the Medical Group Management Assoc., whose
purpose is to provide education, research and resources
to medical practices. Their goal? To get more members!
Offered to do a lunch and learn on security and backups
to their members and offered to PAY the attendee’s
membership fees to the MGMA if they attended the
workshop
They agreed and sent e-mail invites to every doctor’s
office within a 40-mile radius (approx. 300)
56. Case Study:
John Motazedi, SNC Squared
The Results: • 19 people attended
• 3 bought his managed firewall
solution which represents $13,932
in revenue (3,096% ROI)
• 2 upgraded to a bigger managed
services agreements for a total of
$237,000 in sales over a 3 year term
(52,667% ROI)
• An awesome JV partnership was
formed for future opportunities.
57. Unfortunately, MOST Of You Will Never
Really Learn How To Systematically
Attract More And Better Quality Clients,
Get Out Of The Daily Struggle Or See
These Kinds Of Results;
Here’s Why…
58. Good Idea Graveyard:
Where all the procrastinator’s great
business ideas and good intentions go to die.
59. 3 Big Problems Standing In Your Way:
1. You aren’t an experienced marketer and therefore
need detailed instructions on how to implement a
marketing system that are specific to your
business.
2. You’re a great technician, but absolutely terrible
at writing sales letters and marketing
communications.
3. You don’t have a lot of time to spend figuring out
what works and what doesn’t.
